Pos Malaysia released a set of four postcards portraying four lighthouses on 30 April 2013. These postcards were released for the purpose of creating maxicards for the stamp sets and miniature sheets of Lighthouses released on the same day. I must have to say that these postcards are quite attractive.

Pos Malaysia released stamp issue entitled Lighthouses - Series II on 30 April 2013. I find the stamps and miniature sheet are attractive. If you pay attention to the paper of the stamps and miniature sheet, you may notice that the paper contains fluorescent fibres as security measure. Actually, the stamps and miniature sheet were printed by Chan Wanich Security Printing Company based in Bangkok, Thailand. If not mistaken, this is the first time Pos Malaysia sought printing service for her stamps from Thailand.

In the middle of anticipating the coming issue of Lighthouses Series II, let us refresh back the stamps of Lighthouses Series I released in 2004. To be honest, the lighthouse stamps from the Series I are quite attractive, and I might have to say they are as attractive as those of Series II.

You may pay attention to one of the lighthouse stamps from the Series I - One Fathom Bank Lighthouse, Selangor. The lighthouse structure shown in this stamps is the old structure of One Fathom Bank Lighthouse. Actually, a new lighthouse structure was built adjacent to the old structure. Interestingly, the new structure of One Fathom Bank Lighthouse will be portrayed in the miniature sheet (with special effect) of the coming issue Lighthouse Series II.
